What you should know about Vilagrad Wines
Ivan Milicich Snr had few possessions when he left the village of Podgora on the Dalmatian coast, Croatia in 1893, but he had skills, strength and a deep abiding love for his homeland and people. These attributes continue to influence subsequent generations of his family in New Zealand. For over a decade Ivan Snr worked as a gum digger and on contract jobs, saving to help his brothers emigrate and to buy his own land. The winery is now known as Vilagrad, where the great grand sons of Ivan Milicich Snr make award winning wines using both modern and traditional techniques.
Ivan's grand daughter Nelda, and her husband Pieter Nooyen, current owners, replanted much of the vineyard with classic varieties of grape and began to serve their table wines at the restaurant and function centre which now defines Vilagrad Winery. Vilagrad Winery continues to produce ports and sherries from their almost 100 year old vines planted by Ivan Snr. Specialising in 5 different varietals from 5 well known regions in New Zealand these wines capture the essence of each region. Applying their combined knowledge within the industry the 3 brothers have created recipes, wine, and music to complement. Harvest festival, dance party, weddings, winery and vineyard, accommodation and much more.
